I am confused here. I have a fresh F8 install on a Celeron 1.8 based system
which declines to play dvds placed into the system dvd drive. The livna
repository is also installed by rpm, and provides the multimedia software.
Running mplayer from the command line gives an error message from
libdvdread (think I got that spelled right) with an assertion failure.
gxine, xine, vlc, and (of course) Totem all fail to play also.
What irritates me is that a different machine with F8 runs the dvd playback
just fine.
Any bright ideas of where to start looking (systematically looking this
time).
Thanks for the assistance
Dumb question - do you have libdvdplay and libdvdcss installed.
Not so dumb. In fact, rather perceptive. In fact (me hangs head), correct.
Worse, I should have known to double check that. <sigh>
